A disgraced New York Knicks fan returned a Knicks-themed trash can after she was fired by JPMorgan Chase last week. Angie Báez went viral for dumping trash on the sidewalk and taking the orange and blue trash can from the Knicks parade route after celebrating their NBA championship.

The NYC Department of Sanitation confirmed the trash can is back in its rightful place in Lower Manhattan. The department shared a photo of the trash can with the text: “Welcome back! We missed you!”

“Dumping trash onto the street and stealing public property for your own personal use are both illegal, antisocial behaviors, and not what New Yorkers do. On top of all that, doing both on camera is incredibly stupid,” the Sanitation Department told The New York Post in a statement.

Báez was later seen riding a subway train with her souvenir. After the videos went viral, her own colleagues outed her on Facebook.

A spokesperson at JPMorgan Chase told The Post, “This employee is no longer with the company.”

Báez’s LinkedIn page says she was “promoted to Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase more than a year ago.”

“She previously served as Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at New York-based review website The Infatuation, which Chase acquired as part of its broader push into lifestyle and experiential content.”
